hla-g is a non-classical hla class ib molecule with limited protein variability generated by  alternative  splicing.  hla-g   displays  immunotolerant   properties  and  hence  plays important roles in the maintenance of a successful pregnancy and maternal tolerance of the semiallogenic fetus. polymorphism of the hla-g gene may potentially affect the biological properties of the protein, and a ...

rapid detection and differentiation of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) involved in the disease outbreak is very important for controlling disease and developing new vaccines. in the present study, three regions of the genome of ibv vaccine and field isolates including s1 gene, gene 3 and nucleocapsid (n) gene along with 3' untranslated region (3' utr) were amplified and subjected to restricti...

cyclotides are small disulfide-rich proteins that have the unusual feature of a cyclic backbone. cyclotides have a range of interesting biological activities and are found in a variety of tropical plants from the rubiaceae, violaceae, cucurbitaceae and fabaceae families. we have cloned and characterized cyclotides in viola modesta, a viola species native to western asia, which was collected fro...
